I'm aliiiiveeeee! I'm sorry for dropping of the map, but I lost all motivation for, well, everything. This fic is for my lovely partner-in-crime for telling me to get my ass in gear and write something again. I love you man!

In all seriousness though this will be slash and I honestly don't have the patience for flames over my otps so if you don't like it… why did you click on it? The characters might be a little ooc, if you don't like it I apologize but I won't rewrite all of this to make you sleep better at night.

With that said, I don't own Death Note, or Shadow and I only own half of Shade, (the left half to be exact,) but I do own everything else that isn't recognizable m'kay?

On with the story!

Mello let a rare smile grace his face as he watched Matt sleep quietly next to him. The blonde really hated to leave his redheaded lover before the man woke, but some things can't be avoided. With a long sigh, Mello kissed his gamer's forehead and slid quietly out of their bed. Quickly throwing on clothes and scrawling out a note, Mello grabbed his keys, jacket, and helmet. He stuck the note to the monitor where Matt was sure to see it and left making sure the door creaked as little as possible.

The walk to his bike was calm and quiet and Mello let his mind wonder. Eventually his mundane thoughts rested on his lover, and what had happened the night before. Absently Mello rubbed his throat that was littered with bright red marks. Matt had gotten possessive after seeing Mello in his shirt. The blonde chuckled thinking of how well his plan had worked and straddled his bike, putting on his jacket and helmet before kicking it to life and speeding off.

He never noticed the man that followed him.

A deep groan tore from Matt's chest as the muted sunlight hit his closed eyelids. He reached for his moody blonde lover only to find the other side of the bed cool and empty.

That woke him completely and Matt opened his blurry eyes to search for the blonde. Not seeing any signs of him, Matt staggered out into the living room in their small apartment. Out of habit he looked to his computer and saw a note stuck to it with Mello's Perfect, and slightly girlish, handwriting.

Matt who needs to get his ass up before noon,

I went to pick up some things and finish some business. I should be back by the time you get up, but just incase I'm not DON'T FREAK OUT. We don't need a repeat of last time.

Love and shit,

Mello

Matt chuckled and shook his head fondly at the blonde's antics. "Idiot." He whispered.

With a laugh and one last shake of his head Matt got into the shower, hoping Mello would be home soon enough to join him.

Matt jumped out of the shower and slid across the cool tile to where his phone laid blaring the Zelda theme.

"You have Matt." He chirped and shivered at the cool air on his wet skin.

The gamer hunted up a towel and wrapped it around himself quickly trying to fend off the evil cold air. "Matt," L's voice made him freeze. The detective never called unless something was very wrong. "You're in your apartment correct?" The detective asked his voice more tense than normal.

Matt frowned, "Uh, yeah?" Matt dried off and pulled on his boxers.

"Good. A driver will be there momentarily." L said quickly, like he was trying to use as few words as quickly as possible.

With a scowl Matt got dressed quickly and asked the question that had been nagging at him, "L what is it? What happened?"

Silence came from the other end of the line. It was practically stifling Matt as he pulled on his goggles. He wished Mello was there to tease him for worrying to much.

Oh dear Zelda, Mello. Matt thought mind flying through how long it had been since it woke and how long the blonde could have been gone. Dread gripped the gamer and his heart beat faster fearing for his blonde.

"Matt," L's voice snapped him from his panic and the gamer forced himself to focus and to ignore the tone that colored the detective's voice. "It's Mello."

Reality hit Matt like a punch to the face and his only thought as his calm shattered was for Mello.

So, er that's it for now. Please review and don't kill me for leaving you lovelies with a cliffhanger… kinda. All flames will be laughed at and used to make s'mores.
